We now know that the Beastlords' lair lies within an underground labyrinth in the region of Mardin. The cannibals have delayed our expansion long enough. Your primary objective is to crush these abominations so the Brotherhood can move on.\n\n
Our scribes believe that they have found something that might help your mission. They think that the Beastlords are somehow controlling the monsters in the raiding parties. It is believed that control over the creatures is achieved through some form of symbiosis, or possibly even telepathic suggestion. What doesn't add up is how they can control intelligent Deathclaws, since the scribes' studies insist that only creatures of base intelligence would succumb to the controlling force.\n\n
This leads up to your secondary objective. If we can learn to control these Deathclaws and use them to further the cause of the Brotherhood, we could very well expand our region of influence all the way to the west coast. It is a chance, but not such a great chance that you should jeopardize your first objective.\n\n
Depart as soon as you assemble your squad.\n\n
Dismissed.

Excellent work, warrior.\n\n

The Beastlords have been eliminated and the monsters are no longer under their control. News of our victory has already reached the surrounding towns. The Brotherhood's reputation alone will now have new recruits flocking to our front door.\n\n
Our scribes were correct on the Beastlords' relationship with their animal lackeys. The Beastlords inherent telepathic suggestion is a unique ability. It is acquired through prolonged exposure to an unknown radiation present within Mardin's underground caves.\n\n
Unfortunately, we will not be able to duplicate this feat. The scribes explained that this unique mutation only manifests in humans that have been exposed for at least twenty years. But, it is of little matter, since science and discipline will always be victorious over ungodly mutation.

MISSION_07_DEBRIEF_B01 = {

These are strange times, warrior. The Deathclaw Matriarch spoke to our Elders today. It seems that her gratitude is genuine and that she is allowing some of her spawn to remain behind when her brood moves on.\n\n
These Deathclaw young are to be treated as honorary initiates to the Order. Plans are already underway to create a special unit to help assimilate these unusual recruits into our ranks.\n\n
Personally, I have my misgivings towards these dangerous creatures. I do not believe they should be allowed to fight beside our Paladins. However, the Elders insist on this.\n\n

Between you and me, Brother, sometimes I wonder if the old Elders were right.\n\n

You've done well to neutralize the DeathClaw Matriarch. Its intelligence and its ferocity make it a fearsome foe that even our weapons would be hard pressed to stop in a confrontation. You cannot believe what such a creature promises, for its interest and loyalties go only as far as propagating its own filthy, mutated race.\n\n

In my heart, I feel that you made the right decision. You have done well, Brother.\n\n

// Dar is large, sweaty man in his early forties. He speaks with a hissing
// lisp that seems to follow those of his clan. Generations of in-breeding have
// made this man almost completely insane.

// Dar gibbers to himself, talks to imaginary advisors, and leaves tooth-marks

// a deep, booming voice.
//
// Mother's motivation is her broodlings. She is forced to render control of
// her brood to that of Dar. She resents this, but she has no choice in the
// matter. Dar would kill her and her broodlings if she disobeyed him. As long
